Hi all,
I'm giving a talk at USGS Santa Cruz on Friday, and a double figure and abstract is at:
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/seminar/
It comes right up now, but later it will slide down a level and presumably you will have to click on "see a list of all seminars previously presented". In the unlikely a Bay area poster here wants to see it, I assume it is public because it is online and gives directions. I'm not a gifted speaker, so if it was me deciding whether to go, I'd go if I was already in Santa Cruz, but not drive across the terrifying Route 17 across the Santa Cruz Mountain.
The fault map and seismic reflection profile are both in two-way time. In shallow water, 4 seconds TWT is about 6 km depth.
This is the blind (oblique) thrust fault system that is a huge hazard to Ventura, Santa Barbara, Goleta, and especially the UCSB campus. There is a debate on whether it is capable of M8.0 earthquakes. I tend to think not quite that big: the historic quakes have topped out at M 6 1/2, but could easily pull off a M7+, just by fault area.
Chris (aack, my cover is blown!...but long-time posters know who I am).
